Statement from Hospice of Midland

 With the continuing spread of COVID-19 within the U.S., our health system is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as state and local health authorities, to provide continuing care for our patients while taking steps to limit person-to-person spread within our communities. 

Visiting those with medical conditions

 When you visit friends and family who are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, take these important steps. Wear masks. Stay 6 at least feet apart. Meet outside if possible. Wash your hands often. Sanitize all touched surfaces. 

Protecting Yourself

 How to protect yourself:
You can protect yourself from COVID-19 infection the same ways you protect against the common cold or seasonal flu:

  • Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds.
    • Before eating
    • When your hands are visibly soiled
    • After you have used the bathroom, been in public or blown your nose, coughed or sneezed
  • Use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, if soap and water aren’t available.
  • Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue, and throw your used tissues in the trash.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Put some distance between yourself and others, especially if:
  • Someone near you is sick
  • You are at a higher risk of serious illness
  • Disinfect surfaces, buttons, handles, knobs, and other places touched often.

If you feel sick:
There are several things you should do if you are sick or think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, and have a fever or respiratory illness (cough or shortness of breath):

  • Stay home if you are sick or believe you have been exposed to the virus, even if you aren’t showing any symptoms.
  • Avoid public areas and transportation.
  • Call your health care provider before coming into the doctor’s office or emergency department.
  • Avoid coming to the emergency department, unless you have a health emergency and/or you have been advised by your health care provider to do so. This helps prevent the risk of spreading COVID-19 infection.
  • Separate yourself from other people and animals as much as possible, while you are sick.
  • Wear a face mask, if you are sick.
  • Monitor yourself for fever, coughing and shortness of breath.
  • Take the same precautions you would if you had the common cold or flu (e.g., wash your hands frequently).
